Chapter 82 The magician reaps the benefits, the so-called heaven On the edge of the prosperous West Factory, stands an imposing restaurant, which is the only building around the West Factory that can echo it. Penglai Tower! Taken from "The palace of Penglai faces the Nanshan Mountain, and the golden stem that receives dew is in the sky." The two words "Penglai" are majestic. One of the most luxurious restaurants in Kyoto! Those who come and go are all dignitaries, and those who go in and out of the court wear purple robes and jade belts, looking wealthy and noble. From the top of the restaurant, you can overlook Kyoto. The nearby West Factory is also in full view, and it seems that everything is under its control. The Western Factory has long been impatient with this! The Qitaixi factory is not allowed to have such a tall building. Considered "disrespectful"! The Western Factory had sent people to investigate the "false accusations" several times, but each time they returned empty-handed.
This was because the power behind the restaurant was also very powerful, and later "Nine Thousand Years Old" Chen Sanzhong personally ordered not to interfere with the restaurant's business. In the end, they had no choice but to let it continue to prosper. gradually! The reputation of this restaurant became more and more famous and it became a must-visit place in Kyoto. There is a saying among the people that "If you go to Kyoto but don't visit Penglai, it's like you haven't been to Kyoto at all." The twelfth floor, the highest point of Penglai Tower! The restaurant is designed like a spire, with a space of only two meters on the top floor. Those who can reserve a table here are all top dignitaries in Kyoto. The cost of a meal at a table. For the poor people, it might be a job that they will have to endure for several lifetimes. At this time, there were three people on the top floor looking down! There are two of them. If Ma Bao, the eunuch in charge of the Western Factory, saw this, he would probably be terrified. The two of them are the nightmares that linger in his heart. Magician Zodiac. There is also Xie Mu who I met in Zhongnan Mountain. Huang Dao still maintains the appearance of a middle-aged scholar, and his demeanor reveals a calm temperament. His temples are gray, and the traces of time have added a bit of depth and charm to him, making him look more like a grandmaster. And Xie Mu! There have been earth-shaking changes. The vanity of the past had been drained away by alcohol and sex, and there was no trace of it left in him. Him now! He was a head taller, muscular, with bright eyes and slightly sunken temples. It was obvious that his internal martial arts skills had reached a very high level.
Behind Huang Dao and Xie Mu, a mysterious woman was standing quietly. She was dressed in a purple gauze dress, looking graceful. There was a charm in those beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to captivate people. The woman stood beside Huang Dao, behaving properly, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest. Xie Mu was wearing a black robe with a hood that hung down and covered half of his face. Huang Dao saw Xie Mu like this and said with a smile: "With me by your side, what are you afraid of?" Xie Mu couldn't help but sigh and said: "Normally I'm not afraid, but today in Kyoto, we've run into several great masters. How can I not be afraid?" "It's like the Grand Master is worthless." Xie Mu has now started practicing and has already realized the horror of a grandmaster. Comparable to a demon! In Daqing Country, there are only four strong men at the grandmaster level. But today, wow! These four grand masters all gathered in the West Factory of Kyoto. This situation is really too rare. There is only one reason why the four grand masters came here. Come to kill Lu Chen! Xie Mu sighed. He always believed that Lu Shaobao was a good person. But that’s the way the world is! "Good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years." Huang Dao smiled lightly, put one hand behind his back, and looked down at the bustling crowd near the West Factory from the top floor. There was a confident smile on his lips, and he said lightly: "Even if the three of them join forces, I can handle it easily." The beautiful woman in purple gauze beside him heard this and immediately echoed: "The magician's cultivation has surpassed the mortal world, and no one in the world can match him." Her voice is clear, pleasant, sincere and moving. After hearing this, Huang Dao showed a rare smile on his face. Xie Mu couldn't help but say to Huang Dao: "You, go and kill Lu Yu." Huang Dao was slightly stunned after hearing this. There was silence.
Huang Dao took a deep breath, the scene on Mount Zhongnan was still vivid in his mind. That punch! Just like the rising sun, breaking through the dawn of heaven and earth, even with his level of cultivation now recalling it, he still felt a little scared. Over the years, he slayed a dragon in Mount Zhongnan and returned with unprecedented improvement in his cultivation, and even gained the "luck" of Daqing. now! He was in the capital of Daqing, and his cultivation speed became more and more terrifying, as if the spiritual energy of the entire capital was converging towards him. The "Demon Planting in the Heart of Tao" that he practiced was an extremely mysterious method. Different from other practices, it started from the human body. Rather! Open up an unprecedented path, starting from human emotions, and using extreme emotions to understand the way of heaven and earth. This technique is extremely emotional, extremely Taoist, and extremely true, and is extremely difficult to practice. He is the founder of the magic sect in the Dharma-Ending Age, and he spent his entire life exploring the method of "ascension". Without spiritual energy, the Grand Master would be the best in the world. There is no way up any further! The opening of “The Devil in the Heart of Tao” states: "Among the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, the most intense is the infatuation between men and women. It also feels the harmony of destiny, talks about it with ghosts and gods, and is a blessing. The whole world is devoted to one person." This means that the practitioner needs to plant a demon in the innocent heart of a woman, pin all his thoughts on one person, make her thoughts his own, and if she wants him to die, he will be willing to die! However, detaching from emotional constraints is the real key. Practitioners need to transcend the constraints of this emotion, use the ultimate emotion to comprehend the way of heaven and earth, and pursue the realm of true self. This requires practitioners to possess extremely high wisdom and firm perseverance, because if they are not careful, they may fall into an irretrievable situation. Lose yourself! He devoted his whole life without reservation, and then "took advantage of others", and finally transcended by killing amidst endless "love". Bringing human emotions to the extreme! Huang Dao planned everything. He used the southern poisonous insect to make himself forget all his memories, and also found a pair of the most precious love insects in the world. Plan in advance to meet the woman you most like. The two of them love each other, support each other, and have a deep affection. When Huang Dao witnessed with his own eyes the woman "arranging an affair" with another man, the anger and pain in his heart erupted like a volcano. In anger, he "accidentally" killed the woman. However, this did not make him feel relieved, but instead he fell into endless regret. His love for that woman was so deep that it took him twenty years to get over it. In these twenty years! He was foolishly immersed in his longing for her and his pain, unable to extricate himself. It wasn't until Xie Mu showed up and enlightened Huang Dao that he came to his senses. "I have untied the old shackles of the past, and now I know who I am." Afterwards, there was another revival of spiritual energy, and he truly made great progress in his cultivation.
Huang Dao smiled complacently. He walked a path that several generations of demon masters had never walked before, and encountered this revival of spiritual energy. "It's really raining heavily." Huang Dao recalled the records in the Demon Cult's Heavenly Demon Strategy: "When the spiritual energy returns, chaos will begin in the world!" The first brief return of spiritual energy in hundreds of years triggered the "Warring States Period". then! The world is in a tangled mess, hundreds of nations are at war, and all lives are treated like grass. Huang Dao knew the root of all this, which was the struggle for the orthodoxy. In order to fight for their own orthodoxy, various forces tried to dominate the country with their own doctrine and then control the world. And behind this is actually a fight for luck. Speaking of Master Zhu Yan of Daqing back then, he was also a great master of martial arts. He assisted Emperor Jing, helped Daqing expand southward, and established the prosperity of Jiangnan. then! Zhu Yan was in charge of military and national affairs, and made arbitrary decisions. He went to court wearing a sword and shoes, and all the officials knelt to greet him. "The son looks at the emperor!" Zhu Yan was conferred the title of Grand Chancellor and Duke of Anding, and was granted the posts of General and Prime Minister, bringing almost all of Daqing's national destiny into his own hands. Under his influence, Emperor Jing was actually just a puppet. With this, Master Zhu gathered the luck of the entire country of Daqing in himself and reached a realm above the innate level of martial arts. This is called - "Heavenly Man"! Huang Dao knew that in that era, Master Zhu was not the only powerful person who had reached the realm of heaven and man. There are nine other powerful men with the same level of cultivation. They are either the rulers of a country or important officials with great power in the court. These nine people, each of whom ruled their own territories, were the nine most powerful countries during the Warring States Period. Nine nations at war! To determine the true unification of the world. The secret behind this is to mobilize the whole world to help one person "break the void"! but! At this moment, the spiritual energy suddenly disappeared inexplicably. The two realms of heaven and man, and innateness are no longer there! There is only one "Grand Master" in the world! The mysterious power of Master Zhu Yan was eventually discovered by Emperor Jing of Daqing, who seized the opportunity and surrounded and killed him with three thousand cavalrymen. Zhu Yan's ten clans were exterminated, and Emperor Jing even made Zhu Yan's head into a chamber pot and placed it under his bed. Zhu Yan’s death! It brought a huge shock to Daqing at that time, caused an uproar among the people, and various legends and speculations emerged one after another.
There is a folk song that goes, "When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away; when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked." however! Not many people really know the inside story. These inside stories were only passed on orally among emperors and became an unspoken secret. Today, Emperor Hui of Daqing has been captured by Beifeng, and the royal family of Daqing is probably unaware of these historical details. Huang Dao came back to his senses! His current cultivation level is "innate perfection"! Just one step away! Then you can enter the realm of "heaven and man". Huang Dao smiled. "I have the right time, right place, and right people. I never thought I would have them all!" Xie Mu grabbed a piece of roast duck on the table and started eating it without any regard. The beautiful woman in purple gauze standing next to him was greatly surprised that this young man named Xie Mu could be so "domineering" as to mock the magician. It seems like the magician still has an attitude that "it should be this way"! She was really surprised! Women were extremely nervous when facing the magician and dared not show the slightest disrespect. She is the saint of the Seven Sounds Sect of the Demonic Sect, and she was the one who arranged for the Demon Master to live in Kyoto in recent years. That’s why! Her status among the nine sects of the devil rose rapidly. The more she interacted with this legendary magician, the more terrifying he seemed to her. Huang Dao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two people walking down the street. especially! On the person walking slightly behind. Over the years, he still feels scared every time he thinks about it. Seeing this, Xie Mu also stood up and followed Huang Dao's gaze to look at the two people on the street. He knew Huang Dao was wary of Lu Yu, so he asked, "What are you going to do? Four against one or sit back and reap the benefits?" Huang Dao shook his head and turned his gaze towards the direction of Xichang, as if weighing the pros and cons. He sighed softly and said: "Forget it, let's not take the risk. When I was in Zhongnan Mountain, Lu Yu might have already reached the realm of a celestial being." "Now that the spiritual energy has just revived, he has actually been able to reach the realm of heaven and man. Such geniuses are rare in the world. I wonder what realm he has reached now!" "I will not be at peace until this person dies." Xie Mu followed Huang Dao all the way to Kyoto over the years and found that he was really good to him. He helped him to open up his Ren and Du meridians, and taught him the most advanced skills of the Demon Sect. In just a few years, he was only one step away from becoming a master.
Xie Mu was a little worried, as he had not been home for several years in Kyoto. He is just worried about causing trouble for his family! And now the Xie family is the center of the court. Xie Mu's father, Xie Chun'an, was the Minister of Rites. Eldest sister Xie Lingxuan. He also has an older brother who is also an official in the court and a third-rank official. During the years that I was away from home, the Xie family became more and more prominent. "That's how you play, right?" Xie Mu smiled bitterly in his heart. He had followed his father many times, wanting to see if the old man in his sixties was okay. He also sneaked into the Xie family and secretly visited his eldest sister and mother, but each time he came and left in a hurry. His identity is sensitive now! It concerns the emperor’s death in Mount Zhongnan, and people are afraid that it will bring disaster to the entire family. When he was eight years old, his father had told him his fortune and said that he would have extraordinary luck in his life and was born to be rich. However, Xie Mu could only cry without tears. He said self-deprecatingly: "Dad, you even lied to a child!" He followed Huang Dao every day and lived in fear. How could he have a "rich and noble life"? Xie Mu asked Huang Dao: "Who is the strongest among the three grandmasters?" Huang Daoyixiao: "I am the strongest, naturally." Xie Mu was helpless, "I didn't ask you." Xie Mu's question immediately aroused the curiosity of the woman in purple gauze, because the ranking of the strength of the four great masters of Daqing has always been a hot topic in the world. Now, one of the great masters, Huang Dao, is right in front of him, so his evaluation is naturally the most accurate. Huang Dao began to evaluate the other three grand masters one by one. "Chen Sanzhong, he was able to develop a strong body with his incomplete body. His perseverance and talent are extraordinary. However, he was used to being a dog for the queen mother. He lost his courage to move forward and became weaker. He is the weakest among the three." "Jiang Xiaoyue has been pursuing the ultimate in martial arts all his life. His palm technique is indeed worthy of being the best in the world. Throughout the ages, he has reached the ultimate in palm technique skills. But the way of martial arts is not just to pursue the ultimate in one skill, but also to adopt the strengths of various schools and integrate them. This is a small way!" Finally, Huang Dao mentioned the foolish monk in Lingxi Temple. Huang Dao touched his chin and said hesitantly: "On the contrary, it's this foolish monk from Lingxi Temple. He has never killed anyone in his life. I fought with him when I just became a Grandmaster, and I couldn't tell how strong he was. He should be the best among the three." When the woman in purple gauze heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She originally thought that Jiang Xiaoyue would be the first among the three, Chen Sanzhong would be the second, and Yu Seng would be the third. But Huang Dao's comments completely overturned her ideas. Just as the woman in purple gauze was still thinking about Huang Dao's words.
Huang Dao suddenly smiled and said, "Here it comes!" The woman in purple gauze and Xie Mu both looked in the direction Huang Dao was looking. See! Lu Chen and the other person have already entered the West Factory. …… …… [You and Lu Yu walked side by side to the gate of the West Factory, only to see Ma Bao waiting there. The eunuchs on both sides knelt neatly to greet him. The scene was solemn.] [Ma Bao said respectfully: "Young Master, please come in!"] [You can see that Ma Bao feels ashamed, but you don't care.] 【Follow, the two of you walk in. 】 [The vermilion gate of the West Factory slowly closed, isolating the outside world.] [At this moment, Lu Yu's face showed a hint of coldness! ] I’m a little late. It could have been two chapters, but it’s a bit fragmented, so I just combined it into one chapter. Don’t worry, I’ll update it every day, but the amount won’t be large, woo! (End of this chapter)
